Vintage Batman flash drive kicks off Mimoco’s DC Comics line

Now the Dark Knight guards your data as well as Gotham City. Mimoco, the guys behind those cutesy cool Star Wars designer flash drives, has teamed up with Warner Bros. Consumer Products to crank out DC Comics MIMOBOT designs to stow your photos and other digital treasures.

And talk about a treasure to kick things off. The DC collection begins with a vintage Batman flash drive straight out of 1939’s Detective Comics No. 27. This Caped Crusader is limited to 5,000 units, though you better make that 4,999 since I bought mine this morning. The Batman flash drive starts at $19.95 for 2GB and includes exclusive Batman MIMOBOT wallpapers, screensavers, and avatars.

Other Batman designs will drop in February, which include a Neal Adams-esque Batman, a Tim Drake-inspired Robin and the always-terrifying Joker. More DC characters are on the way, which include Superman, Green Lantern and the Flash.
